 This section describes how to prepare the PC environment for building the CRKit framework using either shell scripts or Simulink. 
+If you are not using the same drive partition and directory structures as described in here, then you will need to modify the links to the appropriate folders/files according to your particular environment.   
 
- 
+To build the CRKit framework, we would need the following tools :
+
+ 1. Modelsim
+ 2. Xilinx ISE 
+ 3. Xilinx EDK (optional for now)
+ 3. [http://www.cygwin.com/ Cygwin] (cygwin is known to have interoperability issues with older version of Xilinx EDK shell, therefore it is recommended to use ISE/EDK 10.1 or higher)
+
+First, we will setup the .bash_profile (this file should be located in "c:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USER_ACCOUNT") 
+The .bash_profile environment variables will be loaded into cygwin shell when started. Add following to the .bash_profile 
+
+{{{
+export SDR_HDL_HOME="YOUR_PATH_TO_CRKIT_SVN_FOLDER/design/trunk"       #example : export SDR_HDL_HOME="d:/mystuff/crkit_svn/design/trunk"
+export CYG_SDR_HDL_HOME="CYGWIN_PATH_TO_CRKIT_SVN_FOLDER/design/trunk  #example : export CYG_SDR_HDL_HOME="/cygdrive/d/mystuff/crkit_svn/design/trunk"
+export MODELSIM_WORK_HOME="YOUR_PATH_TO_MODELSIM_WORK_FOLDER"          #example : export MODELSIM_WORK_HOME="d:/mystuff/hw" 
+export XILINX_ISE_MODELS="YOUR_PATH_XILINX_ISE_PRECOMPILED_LIBRARIES"  #example : export XILINX_ISE_MODELS="d:/mystuff/hw/xlib/ise10.1"
+export XILINX_EDK_MODELS="YOUR_PATH_XILINX_EDK_PRECOMPILED_LIBRARIES"  #example : export XILINX_EDK_MODELS="d:/mystuff/hw/xlib/edk10.1"
+export MODELSIM="$SDR_HDL_HOME/setup/modelsim.ini"
+export MODEL_TECH="YOUR_PATH_TO_MODELSIM_FOLDER"                       #example : export MODEL_TECH="c:/Modeltech_6.4c"
+export CYG_MODEL_TECH="CYGWIN_PATH_TO_MODELSIM_FOLDER"                 #example : export CYG_MODEL_TECH="/cygdrive/c/Modeltech_6.4c"
+export PATH=$CYG_HDL_HOME/setup:$CYG_MODEL_TECH/win32:$PATH
+
+unset autologout
+
+cd $CYG_SDR_HDL_HOME/setup
+}}}
+
+The .bash_profile assumes that the following folders are available for linking 
+ 1. [wiki:Software/Firmware/Framework/tutorial/build/env/svn CRKit svn folder]
+ 2. [wiki:Software/Firmware/Framework/tutorial/build/env/modelsim Modelsim work folder] 
+ 3. [wiki:Software/Firmware/Framework/tutorial/build/env/ise_lib Xilinx ISE precompiled libraries] 
+ 4. [wiki:Software/Firmware/Framework/tutorial/build/env/edk_lib Xilinx EDK precompiled libraries] (optional for now)
+
+It is a good strategy to combine the modelsim, ise and edk subfolders in a top folder such as [[BR]]
+./hw/work[[BR]]
+./hw/xlib/ise10.1[[BR]]
+./hw/xlib/edk10.1[[BR]]
+
+Those files should be kept outside off the CRKit svn folder environment.
